End of winter trip

"Had a great stay for a few nights in this very well taken care of condo. Very spacious with all of the amenities right there. Perfect for ski in ski out with dining/entertainment right at the base of the mountain. Tom and Jean were great to deal with and very helpful. Thank you and hope to be back! Eric"

Mountainside House

"As always, our annual trip to the Mountainside House was phenomenal in every way. The staff is extremely courteous and very attentive to keeping the place freshened up each day. It was very nice to get fresh towels every day and also nice to come home to beds made and cleaned bathrooms, rooms, kitchen, etc. Definitely 1st class every step of the way. Even though the trail back to the house is more so "cross country" and too much for me, the private shuttle service makes up for it with the speedy service to/from any point on the mountain. After a long day of skiing, that was a very appreciated complimentary service. Can't thank the staff enough for the wonderful service and looking forward to next year."

Best rental ever!

"I've rented places in Vermont before, but none compare to this house. It's very clean and uncluttered, but still is fully equipped with everything you'd need. Our favorites being the grill, fire pit, comfy couches. Oh and the back deck is the spot for sunsets. Lots of stars at night and deer in the morning. The house is on a large open lot that feels private without being too secluded. The town of Chester is close by with lots of fun places to eat like, Smokin Bowls and Stone Pizza. We also found the Springfield Coop to be very affordable.
Dan couldn't have been nicer to deal with. I felt more like I was visiting a friend's house, than at a rental. Only problem is one week there wasn't nearly long enough. Can't wait to go back!"
